People always seem surprised to find out I use Evernote, despite all of the plain-text tools at my fingertips. I thought I’d offer some explanation as to why and how I use Evernote.

The biggest knock against Evernote–from myself and others–is that the data isn’t easily portable. Let’s be clear, though, you can export individual notes as HTML files and you can…

Martin Kopischke has taken my little Markdown to Evernote Service and made it whole. I dropped the project pretty quickly as I stopped using Evernote as my primary storage for text notes, and I left it in pretty poor shape. Martin has fixed that.

The new Service adds way better tag handling, MultiMarkdown-style metadata hooks for Notebook, tags and more, and generally amped up…

Another post, quickly and with less explanation…

The fact that Evernote processes HTML so much better than it does plain or rich text got me thinking and tinkering. I use Markdown (actually, MultiMarkdown) constantly, and it does a great job of turning plain text into valid markup…

I primarily use Safari for web browsing, mostly because it’s smoother and faster than Firefox, and the Web Inspector is just as useful as Firebug. As time passes, I end up with a lot of web pages open, and I like to clear out my browser tabs on a regular basis. Safari doesn’t really have a long-term session-saving option, so I save lists of open tabs to various applications…
